I thought this was an electricians forum where you asked questions relating to electrical thing, i could understand it If i came in here asking what was the best colour to paint a kitchen

Now that really should have been your chosen profession. I understand there's LOTS of work around for painters ..... well, either that or a stand-up comedian.

If you think this is bad, I think I can top it, a qualified electrician came up to me today and asked in all seriousness "How do you wire a door bell?"

well then I would probably loose my job which I dont fancy doing as its well paid and I get a company van. As I say I know how to do this now as someone sent me a link and told me what to do, I wont forget this and so on the next one it wont be a problem. infact in a miniute im going to go and take a look at the one upstairs.






no but they said they will put me through my 2391 or the equivilent which is nice of them, thats why I wouldnt mind keeping the job man

You are joking right?It is the hardest exam you can do as a spark and you dont even know how to get a 2 way switch working???????????????????????????????

Is this a wind up but then again years ago he would have been filtered out of the trade instead this appears to be the norm plus I take it if he does not know how to wire it up if he gets it wrong he will have a big kettle on his hands and on a sadder note remember the baby that was killed when this happened
